Cheap
-
Compact
-
Nice switch up
The
monster lite spheres are relatively cheap for Rogue equipment. At $50 you get a nice pair which will do you or your clients a great service for getting a better grip. They are easy to install and can be lit in different places, especially in a big rig or daisy-chained
racks. They are also a nice alternative to a regular pull up bar.
Cons of the rogue monster lite pull up spheres
Compared to other grip strength options the
spheres only work in conjunction with a
rack. That makes their use cases limited compared to the very similar
cannonball grips. You can also not use them with the rogue monster series which is currently taking over the Rogue Production lines.
Alternatives to the rogue monster lite pull up spheres
The
crown pull up bar comes in at $225-$255 depending on your type of
rack. With this, you get two different sized
spheres and all the straight pull up setups you can think of. The only downsides are the price and that it is not great for kipping pull-ups. This is a great option for any home gym owner to make the most of their space.
The
cannonball grips are al ist the same idea as the
spheres with the bonus that they can also be attached to
barbells,
kettlebells, and
dumbbells. If you are more thinking about your grip strength than developing a better pull up, these might be the more versatile option with a very similar outcome. You will also not need to have a
rack to attach them to.
The
rogue climbing crossmember comes in at $85 and can be attached to the monster ted lite or monster series of Rogue. If you wanted to provide
climbing options for your existing rig, this is the better option than the
spheres. You pay minimally more and get many more grip options. For home gyms this probably the inferior choice as they usually lack the width or height to make the
climbing crossmember fun.
